What drives the score

How to read this

Grades run S to D, read from the buyer's side. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. How the grades work

What we assumed
  • How long it takes to beat isn't in our data. The score is docked for the missing length.
Holding it back
Reviews82% positive
Gates the score. Weak reviews cap it, and nothing reaches BANGER without strong ones
Length unknownNo verified $/hr
No length in our data yet, so the biggest driver can't be verified. A heavy dock until it is

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was November 2023. It has been discounted 64 times in the 9 years tracked here, typically at 66 percent off, with about 7 weeks between sales.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 32 percent on value. It is pricier than 95 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 83 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Airport CEO ($24.99, scores 63) beats it on value, while it beats Rise of Industry ($29.99, scores 31).

Of the 610 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 42 percent of the 247 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 8 percent of everything written about it.
